In Reply to: A few Q's re: board and petition posted by Arturo Bandini on June 17, 2002 at 22:34:09:

: Is there a reason that this board doesn't offer amenities such as collapsible threads (using the current design) or a new layout more akin to the Poop Shoot board? This would eliminate some of the problems you have concerning the vast amount of page space taken up by polls, flame wars, etc.

Kevin prefers this format, I guess so he can see the titles of all threads and whether or not they warrant a response from him.

: I am not a frequenter of many boards, so I don't know the mechanics of any of this. I assume that perhaps it's either a matter of cost (using free cgi script as opposed to paying for high-tech board software) or a matter of entropy (this is how the board started, so it stays).

: I agree w/ yr petition in general, but I think the true, and most basic, point is, stick to the rules and enforce them. I don't think we should try to dictate the rules to Ming, Kevin, etc., but just let them know that whatever guidelines rule this board, they should be kept to. If Kevin dictates that at least one thread per day must be a lengthy admiration of his massive package, then Ming should enforce it.
His massive pachage? I think I love you.

Sorry, couldn't help it. I like discussion of massive packages. No, what I was referring to was that they removed the guidelines for posting when they got rid of the OTHER board for OT posting. Since then its been a free for all.

: I do think, though, that with the start of the Poop Shoot, this is the perfect time for the "red-letter leaders" to perform a little overview of this board and its rules, mechanics, etc.

I can't expect anything to come of this, I can just hope maybe they will see that we would like it close to how it was before. I have no problem with discussing a personal problem on here. Its when you post bullshit all the time that its a problem.

How do you ride a sawhorse? Wouldn't that hurt?
